Hello, I'm having trouble getting loop-aes to boot an encrypted hard disk. I do my testing using qemu, because I don't have to burn CDs over and over if things go wrong. At boot time I get about 6-8 pf these errors repeated on the system console: Command "/lib/losetup -e AES256 -I 0 -K /lib/rootkey.gpg -G /lib /dev/loop5 /dev/hda" returned error. I am not able to enter a password and the system halts after this message is displayed. You can see how this happens if you install qemu and boot from the ISO image in question. I've uploaded the ISO image here: http://pub.temerity.net/setup.iso.gz There is a dummy rootkey.gpg included in the image, along with my ISOLINUX configuration, build-initrd.conf, and config.gz from kernel 2.6.25.4. Since the system never gets to a point where the hard disk is used, you can generate a blank qemu disk image and use the above ISO to boot with the following qemu commandline: /usr/bin/qemu \ -alt-grab \ -hda image.raw \ -m 512 \ -soundhw es1370 \ -localtime \ -usb -usbdevice tablet \ -net none \ -cdrom setup.iso \ -boot d I've spent about 25 hours over two weekends troubleshooting this problem and am at my wit's end... can someone suggest where I've gone wrong?
